1 author picked The Boulevard as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Boulevard is a weird historical fiction in a supernatural frame. What’s not to like?

On a train ride to break the news to the reclusive artist, he regales drinking companion Ernest Hemingway with the history of how the project came about, including a well-researched and wonderfully shaped walk-through of Western art history.
